Its too bad we couldnt borrow billups back from the clippers until Baron gets healthy. Carmelo Anthony is a great individual talent but he is not a leader. This teams defense makes me sick, why not give Balkman more minutes? smh @ sally fields

Im not sure whats the worst out of these 3...Amare's defense, Melo's defense, or Fields confidence

Sorry but Melo exploded in the 4th quarter and played great defense, I get what you mean though, we need some one to slow the game down and get guys easy shots.

Agreed. If you watch Melo, he will get guys involved when the game is flowing and the team is getting work done but as soon as they seem like they are falling asleep he will take over. That's just his killer instinct.

I didnt mean to sound like i was being too hard on Melo (pause). Hes been exploding in the 4th quarter of just about every game but I'd like to see him play defense for a whole game. He has the ability, theres no question about that but Melo is the last guy i would blame for our poor start.

I wouldnt even blame Douglas, I would place the majority of the blame on Amare, Fields, and Antoni. At the end of the day this team just needs more time, we're not better then the Bulls or Heat but we're not as bad as we been playing

*edit*

I also gotta give Melo credit, hes tried to get his teammates involved. Hes tried to pass more early in games especially, its not his fault that half of them are useless

I feel yeah, Melo's the type that needs rhythm, when easy buckets starts happening he gets frustrated. He also always gets iso buckets which means he's getting before he gets the ball, when he has the ball and after he lets go. Kevin Durant gets to run off screens, back picks and gets plays run for him. An isolation is not a play D'Antoni.

I wanna see major changes from within cause this ****s becoming a major disappointment 6 games into the season

Completely missed this game I see the Knicks lost did Amare play and if so how'd he do(I didn't go through the whole thread)

Statistically speaking he looked good, think 25 points on 50% and 12 boards, but seemed to miss more jumpers than made, got a few easy dunks to even that out, and defensively he makes David Lee look like DPOY

Thats disappointing hopefully as the season goes on Tyson can really get it in his head that he should be one of the best defenders in the league with his body and athleticism.
